Last week, the parliament was disrupted by the unruly behaviour of seven Congress MLAs, who eventually got suspended. The suspension of seven Congress MPs from parliament last week for disrupting the house over a call for discussion on the violence in Delhi has been revoked, sources have said.
The suspended members include Gaurav Gogoi, TN Prathapan, Dean Kuriakose, Benny Behananm, Manickam Tagore, Rajmohan Unnithan and Gurjeet Singh Aujla. The second half of the budget session will end on April 3.
Terming it as “revenge politics”, the Congress’s leader of the house Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury had said the party will “not let up”.
At Speaker Om Birla’s room, all the parties asked him to come to the house and that they trust him. The opposition also requested him to revoke the suspension, sources said.
The tug-of-war on the call for discussion on the violence in Delhi over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act or CAA had ensured repeated adjournments, allowing little time for any other business since parliament reconvened for the second half of the budget session.
